Excerpt from The Freedom Speech of Wendell Phillips: Faneuil Hall, December 8, 1837, With Descriptive Letters From Eye Witnesses The Wendell Phillips Hall Association is incorporated for the purpose of erecting a Memorial Building in commemoration of the life and public Services of Wendell Phillips. Gen. B. F. Butler is President, and Ex-Gov. J. Q. A. Brackett, Trensurer, with a representative and efficient Board of Directors. The building is to be centrally located and contain a large hall and several smaller audience, committee and class rooms, constituting essentially a "Cooper Union" for Boston, with memorial features, which will make it stand to the period it commemorates as Pilgrim Hall and Forefathers´ Monument to the settlement of Plymouth, or as Bunker Hill Monument, the old South Church and Faneuil Hall to the Revolutionary´ era. In appropriate portions of the building will be stained glass windows, paintings, and bas-reliefs portraying the most thrilling episodes in Phillips´ life, including his famous Faneuil Hall speech; also, scenes from the live? of Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner, John Brown and others, from the shooting of Lovejoy, at Alton, III., to the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation by Abraham Lincoln.
